This controversial Lehigh Valley strip club is no more (PHOTOS)

Scoobies Gentlemens Club, a controversial strip club that's been closed since a 2013 arson, has been reduced to a pile of rubble.

Willow Race LLC, a company of developer Abe Atiyeh, bought the fire-damaged building at 2327-2331 Hanover Ave. in September 2016 for $63,785.

The city of Allentown granted Atiyeh the zoning variances he needed to raze the building, which sat on a triangle piece of land, and build a digital billboard on the site, city spokesman Mike Moore confirmed Monday. A demolition permit was obtained, he said.

Atiyeh did not immediately return a phone message asking if he planned to put up the billboard or do something else with the property.

Ulysses "Slime" Rodriguez, whose last known address was in the 900 block of Walnut Street in Allentown, was sentenced in January to 10 to 20 years in prison for Wimberly's killing. Rodriguez was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in August 2015.

Police say Rodriguez offered Wimberly marijuana at Eaton and Club avenues, around the corner from Scoobies. When Wimberly declined, the men argued and Rodriguez shot him in the chest, at about 1:30 a.m., police say.

Scoobies representatives have said Wimberly was not in the club and it had no role in the shooting. Police have said Rodriguez was in the club before the shooting.
